#Cowboys Tony Pollard Looks Unstoppable + Zeke Combo Is 🔥🔥🔥 vs #Vikings

Tony Pollard paces Cowboys' backfield duo in win with 189 yards: 'We've got to keep that going all year'

Tony Pollard wasn't just great for the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He also had more yards and points than the team he faced, the Minnesota Vikings.

The Cowboys were dominant in all phases in their 40-3 undressing of the Vikings, who came into the game with an 8-1 record. Dak Prescott threw for 276 yards with only three incompletions, Brett Maher was 4 of 4 on field goals (including three from 50-plus) and Dallas' defense smothered the Vikings.

"We knew we needed to respond after last week," Prescott said. "If we can continue to do this, this team can be special."

But Pollard's biggest game of the season can't go overlooked in this potentially special season. He totaled 189 yards from scrimmage and caught two TD passes, of 30 and 68 yards, without being touched by a Vikings defender after either catch.

On the 68-yarder that blew the game open early in the third quarter, Pollard told NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero: "Yeah, that's the little play we put in this week. Kinda been working on it and we just called it at the right time, and it hit big for us."

Starter Ezekiel Elliott ran for two scores in the game, sniping one from Pollard after he'd done all of the work to get the Cowboys near the end zone and accumulated more than half of Dallas' yards on its first TD drive of the game. Pollard followed up an 18-yard run on that possession with a 20-yard run the following play.

Pollard would end up with 80 rush yards on 15 carries. Elliott totaled 42 yards on the same number of carries.
